Summary/Abstract: Multiculturalism does work but it takes time, people are naturally resistant to change and are suspicious of something that's different. People born now into multicultural societies are much more likely to believe multiculturalism is normal and to accept it. Multiculturalism has been used as an umbrella term to characterize the moral and political claims of a wide range of marginalized groups, including African Americans, women, LGBT people, and people with disabilities. This is true of the debates in the 1980s over whether and how to diversify school curricula to recognize the achievements of historically marginalized groups.
